The China Talent Market – Trends and Directions The War for Talent in China continues unabated and for the foreseeable future companies will face a massive skills shortage across all industries. Since WTO accession turnover figures have grown increasingly worse, and retention is a huge challenge for the cohort of graduates between the age of 25 and 35 ie. that group of people that is most desirable to multinational companies. Hiring is virtually the only issue for HR departments in China right now, and this has hampered the development of the workforce, which feedbacks in to the hiring. It seems an eternal loop. But is there a way out? Frank Mulligan, who established the first RPO and the first ATS in China 7 years ago, will offer an overview of where the War for Talent originated, where it is going, how to navigate the trends and cycles, and ultimately how to win the war. He will offer specific strategies and recommendations that can be implemented today, and those that can be planned for tomorrow. .
